Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox UNESCO World Heritage Site The Fort Constantin (Fort Grand Duke Constantine, Fort Konstantin) (Шаблон:Lang-ru) was a coastal artillery battery that covered southern waters of the fortified city of Kronstadt, Russia. The city is located on the Kotlin Island, Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea.

History

In 1807 Emperor Alexander I of Russia signed a decree to additionally fortify Kronstadt expecting a war with Great Britain. The construction started in 1808. The initial parapet of the battery was made of pine timber filled with sand and stone, for speed. It was made in two levels, hence the historical name "Double Southern Battery (Двойная Южная Батарея).[1]
